Creating a Culture of Philanthropy Handout Creating a Culture of Philanthropy PRESENTED BY JILL BECKWITH - CPO, EMANCIPET ASPCA CORNELL MADDIE’S SHELTER MEDICINE CONFERENCE LEARNING OBJECTIVES At the end of this seminar, you will be able to: NOTES & DOODLES • Approach your fundraising with a defined set of 3 values • Engage all levels of your organization in fundraising • Understand the Giving Cycle DONOR BILL OF RIGHTS Philanthropy is based on voluntary action for the common good. It is a tradition of giving and sharing that is primary to the quality of life. To ensure that philanthropy merits the respect and trust of the general public, and that donors and prospective donors can have full confidence in the nonprofit organizations and causes they are asked to support, we declare that all donors have these rights: I. To be informed of the organization's mission, of the way the organization intends to use donated resources, and of its capacity to use donations effectively for their intended purposes. II. To be informed of the identity of those serving on the organization's governing board, and to expect the board to exercise prudent judgment in its stewardship responsibilities. III. To have access to the organization's most recent financial statements. IV. To be assured their gifts will be used for the purposes for which they were given. V. To receive appropriate acknowledgement and recognition. VI. To be assured that information about their donation is handled with respect and with confidentiality to the extent provided by law. VII. To expect that all relationships with individuals representing organizations of interest to the donor will be professional in nature. VIII. To be informed whether those seeking donations are volunteers, employees of the organization or hired solicitors. IX. To have the opportunity for their names to be deleted from mailing lists that an organization may intend to share. X. To feel free to ask questions when making a donation and to receive prompt, truthful and forthright answers. © 2013, Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), all rights reserved.

WHY FUNDRAISING MATTERS NOTES & DOODLES Emancipet Contributed Revenue Fees for Service 25% 75% Other NPOs Contributed Revenue Fees for Service 0% 100% WHY BOTHER? Fundraising is not just about money in the door... NOTES & DOODLES • It’s about building an invested community of supporters for your organization. • Giving makes people happy! (UC Berkeley Study) • Giving empowers people. When thanked promptly and authentically, even donors giving small amounts report feeling: ○ Empowered! They are making a difference! ○ They are joining a community or movement. ○ They are “paying it forward”. LESSONS WE’VE LEARNED • Statistics, Schmatistics NOTES & DOODLES ○ You’re not cramming for a test. You’re building a relationship. ○ Focus on the human/animal bond. People already know S/N reduces shelter intake, adopt don’t shop, etc. • People give to People ○ People give because they trust that you care about animals as much as they do. ○ People give because they like you. (Stay interesting!) • Establish a Culture of Philanthropy that is optimistic, donor-centered, and experiential. • Select strategies that will build a broad base of support for your organization. • Thank the S&*% out of people. • Just start asking! EXERCISE GIVING IS A TWO-WAY STREET Let’s think of some ways that giving benefits both the Donor and the NPO! The NPO Gets: The Donor Gets: ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCES FOR DONORS We seek to create giving experiences that fundamentally change both the donor and the donor/non-profit dynamic. Personal transformation for donors often looks like movement from one way of thinking or feeling to another. ISOLATED CONNECTED “Other people don’t care “I’ve found people who feel about animals like I do; I feel the same way about animals like a weirdo!” as me!” HELPLESS EMPOWERED “The problem is just too big “The actions I am taking are and I’m only one person. I directly impacting the lives of don’t know where to begin!” animals.” HOPELESS OPTIMISTIC “There is no solution. “I am part of a movement that The problem of animal is creating a more humane homelessness is just too big.” future for animals.” PARTNER BENEFACTOR “I consider myself a part of “The let me know when they Emancipet. My opinions, time, need money.” and resources are valued and make a difference.” NOTES & DOODLES EXERCISE YOUR OWN GIVING EXPERIENCE 1. Think back on the biggest charitable gift you have ever made. What motivated you to give? If you have never donated to charity, think of the volunteer work you’ve done – that’s a form of giving too! _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ 2. Do you feel like the organization did a good job of thanking you? Did you feel like your gift/time made a difference? _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ 3. What was the best part about that giving experience? What would have made it better? _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ Reminder: Think back to the transformations we seek to make for our donors: Isolated g Connected Helpless g Empowered Hopeless g Optimistic Benefactor g Partner OPTIMISTIC MESSAGING: DO’S AND DON’TS Do: NOTES & DOODLES • Focus on the solution • Paint a picture of what could be and inspire hope and action • Tell the stories of individuals whose lives have or will improve as a result of the services Don’t: • Focus on the problem • Tell a grim, depressing story that evokes hopelessness and apathy • Tell the stories of millions of animals suffering EXERCISE STORY TELLING Every fundraising appeal is a chance to tell a story to a potential supporter. Your organization is transforming lives daily with the service it offers – tell that story every time you have a chance! Remember: • People want to share their stories. • Collecting stories is a great way to engage frontline staff. • Story telling gives us a chance to reframe traditional animal welfare narratives. Tips: 9 Ask permission! 9 Keep it positive. 9 Don’t rely on a good guy/bad guy narrative. 9 Break the mold. Write down a client success story: __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ CREATING EXERCISE OPTIMISTIC MESSAGING Let’s take the Do’s and Don’ts of optimistic messaging and convert them into a fundraising message for social media. Here’s a Facebook post that breaks ALL the rules we just discussed: Rewrite the post using the Do’s of optimistic messaging: __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ DONOR-CENTERED PHILANTHROPY • Learn about the donor’s motivations for involvement NOTES & DOODLES and speak to what moves them. • Explain the impact of their particular gift and maintain the relationship

  • Private Inurement As Follows: Distribution of Earnings
    C. OVERVIEW OF INUREMENT/PRIVATE BENEFIT ISSUES IN IRC 501(c)(3) 1. Preface An apocryphal domestic relations case has a judge inquiring of the elderly plaintiff about why, after some fifty years of marriage, she was now seeking a divorce. "Well, your honor," she replied, "enough is enough!" In the charitable area, some private benefit may be unavoidable. The trick is to know when enough is enough. 2. Introduction IRC 501(c)(3) provides exemption from federal income tax for organizations that are "organized and operated exclusively" for religious, educational, or charitable purposes. The exemption is further conditioned on the organization being one "no part of the net income of which inures to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual." This article examines the proscription against inurement and the requirement that an organization must be organized and operated exclusively for exempt purposes by serving public rather than private interests. 3. The Prohibition Against Inurement of Net Earnings A. What Is Inurement? The statutory prohibition against inurement of net earnings first appeared in 1894. The provision has been carried forward without significant Congressional comment or debate through successive revenue acts and codifications. See "The Concept of Charity" in the Exempt Organizations Annual Technical Review Institutes for 1980 beginning at page 7. While the provision speaks of "net earnings," it is not interpreted in a strict accounting sense to mean the remainder after expenses are subtracted from gross earnings. Any unjust enrichment, whether out of gross or net earnings, may constitute inurement. See People of God Community v. Commissioner, 75 T.C.

  • Homeless Non-Governmental Organisations and the Role of Research Mike Allen
    10th Anniversary Issue 145 Homeless Non-Governmental Organisations and the Role of Research Mike Allen Focus Ireland, Dublin, Ireland >> Abstract_This paper explores the reciprocal and often complex relationships between homelessness research and NGOs, with a particular focus on the role and motives of homeless NGOs in commissioning and undertaking research and the impact this research has on NGO practice. The paper also explores the influence on NGOs of research emanating from the broader research community, using Focus Ireland, an Irish Homeless NGO, as a case study. The ethical challenges of NGO homelessness research reflect those of the wider research community whether academic or state sponsored, with additional unease regarding the potential exploitation of NGO clients. Citing such concerns, some NGOs refuse to engage in research, arguing that their primary role is to address clients’ personal problems; however, such a stance may unwittingly buttress individual interpretations of homelessness with a conse- quent downplaying of structural issues. The paper suggests that impact of research findings on the practice of service delivery is rarely direct and sometimes hard to detect. The paper concludes with identifying possible conduits for the communication and transfer of research findings. >> Keywords_NGO research on homelessness, ethical concerns, communica- tion of research findings ISSN 2030-2762 / ISSN 2030-3106 online 146 European Journal of Homelessness _ Volume 10, No. 3 _ 2016 Introduction The European Journal of Homelessness aims to provide “a critical analysis of policy and practice on homelessness in Europe for policy makers, practitioners, researchers and academics.” While a number of articles over the years have explored the relationship between research and policy-making at Government and regional levels, rather less attention has been given to the relationship between research and the organisations where most actual practice takes place – non- governmental organisations (NGOs) providing services to people who are homeless.
